Dave Krieg - Seattle Seahawks, 1983
After sneaking into the playoffs for the first time in their eight-year history, the Seahawks traveled to a rainy Orange Bowl for a date with standout rookie Dan Marino and the Dolphins. Seattle trailed 20-17 with four minutes remaining in regulation -- but Krieg hooked up with Steve Largent on a pair of long completions to set up the go-ahead touchdown. Miami fumbled the ensuing kickoff, Seattle's Norm Johnson tacked on three insurance points and the Seahawks, improbably, flew into the AFC title game.
